#40LentPrompts – Lent Writing Prompts Introduction

I cannot believe how close we are to starting LENT! Whenever Easter is early it throws me and the world off. Hey we just finished putting away the Christmas Decorations..time to take out the Lent “cross.” Last year we created a cross for Easter/Lent out of our Christmas Tree. We forgot to do it this year. I only remembered because I saw the photo come across my timehop recently.

I loved the writing prompts for Advent so much I’ve decided to do it again for Lent! I normally do a Lenten Meal Plan Link-Up but this year I have decided to mix in some Lent and Easter related Writing Prompts as well. ach week one writing prompt will be to share a lenten meal/recipe and the other 6 will be other Lent related topics. Pick as many or few as you’d like. I liked the format I did for Advent where on Monday I posted that weeks writing Prompts and on

Each week one writing prompt will be to share a lenten meal/recipe and the other 6 will be other Lent related topics. Pick as many or few as you’d like. I liked the format I did for Advent where on Monday I posted that weeks writing Prompts and on Thursday I posted the link-up. Since that format worked out so well I am going to use the same format for Lent.

On Monday, February 8th I’ll post the first week of writing prompts. Sometime between now and then I will fill in this post and reschedule and share it with the list of all of the writing prompts.
